Want to get up close and personal with a book? How about meeting the author that wrote it? Join us for our in-person author event with D.K. Silver signing Forcing Shoots Thriller.
Carrington Marcs still smells the Colonel’s rancid breath. He still feels the resistance that the knife gave when it plunged in deep. Now he is traveling westbound, away from everything he held dear, without even knowing whether the Colonel is dead. He hopes to one day see Jamison and at the very least beg her forgiveness-but now all he knows is the railroad tracks that stretch far into the horizon.
Jamison, in her quest to wipe away the stigma of her birth, changes her name to Crystal, embodying the strength and fortitude of the shadowy female image she admires in the crystal that Carrington gifted her. Crystal endeavors to remake herself, modeling the enviable quality of sovereign self-possession that dripped from every word and deed of the Countess. But now that the Countess has departed the château, Crystal is left alone with Jon Roe for the duration of her lengthy recuperation.
What Crystal doesn’t know is that Jon has a dark secret in his past. If he encourages Crystal to reinvent herself, will her venture break the carefully constructed life he’s made?

Want to get up close and personal with a book? How about meeting the author that wrote it? Join us for our in-person author event with Kim Steinhardt signing Sabby the Sea Otter.
Sabby the Sea Otter is just a young pup, but his mom is teaching him everything about how to be a sea otter — how to dive underwater, how to find food in the ocean, and how to stay safe in a world full of danger. Sabby wants to know everything about the bay he and his mom live in. But one day Sabby’s curiosity gets him in trouble when a rushing tide traps him in a human-made hazard, a great big pipe filled with water. Now Sabby needs to learn how to survive on his own, while his mom fights every obstacle to find him.
Young readers will be thrilled with this true story of a how a real-life sea otter pup and his mom were reunited, while learning fun sea otter facts and an important lesson about how human activity affects wildlife. Illustrated with color photos of real sea otters, Sabby the Sea Otter: A Pup’s True Adventure and Triumph is a fun introduction to the ocean and the creatures who live there.

Want to get up close and personal with a book? How about meeting the author that wrote it? Join us for our in-person author event with Dr. Arayeh Norouzi signing The Art of Living in Joy.
Within The Art of Living in Joy – Five Practical Steps to Transform Life Challenges into Joy and Harmony, Dr. Arayeh Norouzi addresses her various life challenges and how she overcame them through her introspective endeavors, helping others in their paths, and extensive research.
As she traversed this journey, she became certain that while there might not be a magic potion out there to permanently transport humans to the land of joy and freedom, there definitely is a magic formula. She spent years perfecting this formula and came up with five chronological steps that have the potential to gracefully get us there regardless of the gravity of the situation.
Dr. Arayeh believes the human world was originally designed to be a playground for us to perpetually revel in the joy that is inherently our birthright. We are supposed to enjoy living! Yet we were not taught how to do so by our caregivers who didn’t know themselves, and neither did the school system or society in general. She trusts there is a new wave of consciousness in the world, and it’s now time to claim our rights.
With this book and the five-step system, she hopes you will be led to tap into your own inner wisdom by cultivating awareness of your past conditioning, rewiring the limiting programs, and adopting more empowering and compassionate ways of living.
Are you ready to embark on the path to claim your birthright to joy?

NORCAL BOXER RESCUE MEET & GREET ADOPTION EVENT at PET FOOD EXPRESS
APRIL 27th, 12:00PM – 2:00PM
NorCal Boxer Rescue provides a temporary sanctuary for boxers in need throughout Northern California, the Central Valley (Fresno or farther north) and around the Nevada/California state line area. We rescue boxers from shelters and from owners who are no longer able to care for them. At a minimum, we provide these animals with veterinary care, spay/neuter surgeries, vaccinations, a microchip, a temporary foster home at a private residence, lots of love, and placement into a carefully screened forever home.
NCBR is run entirely by a dedicated group of volunteers who have an unmatched love for preserving this wonderful breed. We have no paid employees and allocate nearly 100% of our adoption fees and donations directly toward the care of our boxers. For more information, please visit www.ncbr.org.

Want to get up close and personal with a book? How about meeting the author that wrote it? Join us for our in-person author event with Rosella Crawford-Bathurst signing, The Rainbow Quest.
Ali’s mother is mortally ill, and Ali has no idea how to help her. A mysterious stranger offers Ali the chance to earn a wish. All she has to do is successfully complete The Rainbow Quest …but a wicked necromancer will stop at nothing to defeat her. Ali is scared and completely out of her depth. How can she possibly succeed against an evil maniac intent on her failure? She doesn’t know how, but she has to try.
Armed only with her black kitten, and love for her mother, Ali’s odyssey into the Rainbow Quest takes her to seven different worlds each full of unexpectedly wild characters, intrigue and mystery: adventure and fun, doubt and fear, devastation and loss, heart wrenching loss.
But despite all the challenges, she presses on with courage she didn’t know she had, and does remarkable things without knowing that she can.
